    The timing on this is pretty good! I'm in an old house, alone, moving the last bit of my stuff out, and the creepy ambiance plus the story had me jumping at every shadow, especially as the sun sets and the abysmal interior lighting as I've taken out all my lamps have made the house even darker and spookier. It doesn't help that in the years I've lived at this address, I've never felt entirely alone. . .

      They're well on their way! Sooner or later, everyone is bound to stop having the idea of 'creepy' being videos of doors moving half an inch, or pixels moving through an apartment living room, so that it takes a circle drawn around the "entity" to even see it. Genuine creep comes from stories that hold up even when you apply healthy skepticism, and HERE is where you find exactly that.

    This is a good one.
    Interesting that in every encounter with the visible beast, no matter how terrifying it is or how it could have a distinct advantage over someone in terms of size and speed... it runs away every time. It scares people badly... but it seems reluctant to stick around and capitalize on that fear after it's been seen. That kinda implies sentient thought, rather than something more animalistic.

    I have legal access to the buildings on site and would be happy to take reference photographs for your artist if you ever decide to make a video on it.

    This is a true story I have heard many times. It’s sad that the heads ‘were given to a local man’ and were later lost. I cannot fathom a museum giving such items to anyone at all, today. It seems to have been a very irregular happening even as recent as the 1970’s. Anyone approaching a museum today and asking to take artifacts away for personal ‘study’ would certainly need to have an established academic qualification and interest but would be unlikely to be allowed to take items away.

      It's worth noting Newcastle University also studied them and found they were made artificially and not out of solid rock.. going against Southampton University study.
      It's also worth mentioning the guy who claimed he made them for his daughter, when he was made to create them again they were sub par to the original ones.

      Could be. I think they might as early as the last ice age. If so then they might have been part of a long lost ritual that originated in the prehistoric period with the so-called “goat man” and the other being possibly being the spirits of shamans. If you look at famous cave paintings from the last major ice age you would see that they is a bleeding of supernatural in the depiction of what are believed to be shamans. Oftentimes these people have some sort of feature from an animal, primarily a deer. Unfortunately the fact these heads weren’t properly excavated (meaning they weren’t uncovered by archaeologists) nor the parents thought to alert any college that might be nearby about the heads immediately after they were brought inside means that we lost the context of the heads.

The ones that are bad are more rare than ones that arent when you consider how many have instances of beings they didnt understand and creeped them out but never hurt them.

Those heads might date back to the Beaker people. It’s too bad no archaeological excavation was conducted at the house as any artifacts could have helped decipher the mystery of the Hexham heads.

    Missed these videos! Please make a video about the UFO incident or incidents in Colares Brazil were many people were actually attacked by UFO’s. Or Chupa Chupa I believe the locals called them at the time. Many UFO’s and their occupants were witnessed. They’d shoot people with a beam of light, paralysing them. These people would then suffer from a rare form of anaemia. The Brazilian military had to be sent in and carried out surveillance and that was called Operação Prato or operation plate in English. A lot of evidence in this case. Very interesting and surprisingly not that well known unless you’re in the circles lol
    Another video I’d love to see from you guys is a video about the Petrozavodsk UFO incident or the Jellyfish UFO incident as it’s known. Hundreds of witnesses including a doctor of geophysical sciences. That particular doctor said that the night before the incident there were strange lights in the sky and that they gave off some sort of mist that rained down on the town and gave them amnesia. Very strange and again surprisingly not that well known case

      Most likely the heads weren’t yet removed from their resting place. There are stories of beings lashing out when an artifact is removed from its resting place in an improper manner (aka stolen), of bad luck following the taker until they return the stolen item. So if we work with that in mind we can assume the beast/spirit might have been some prehistoric deity.
